Yii2 How to remove site/index and page parameter from url

Question

I am using pagination on default page,i.e, on site/index in yii2. So the URL generated by linker for paginations looks like this

domain.com/site/index?page=1


        

Answer 1

I got this working on my local machine using the following component configuration:

'urlManager' => [
    'class' => 'yii\web\UrlManager',
    'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
    'showScriptName' => false,
    'baseUrl' => 'http://example.dev',
    'rules' => [
        [
            'pattern' => '<page:\d+>',
            'route' => 'site/index'
        ]
    ],
]

and SiteController:

public function actionIndex($page=NULL)
{
    var_dump($page);
    exit;
}
